Château des Granges D'Or
Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2017
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose of blue and black fruits with light wood, spices, licorice, light earth, vegetables, herbs, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf, earth and black pepper.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and peppercorn.
This 7 year old Merlot from Bordeaux is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Complex and interesting.
I had this vintage 3 years ago, and it hasn't changed much, except that the nose has become noticeably prettier.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly so be patient.
Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with grilled picanha.
A blend of 71% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25. — 3 months ago

Tyrrell's Wines
Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon 2011
A mid straw yellow in colour. Aromas are lemon and lime, lemongrass, mineral, wet hay with toastiness and lanolin starting to emerge at 13 years of age. Light bodied but great intensity - a richer texture for a Semillon, bearing in mind that this wine sees no oak at all - stainless steel all the way. Only 11% alcohol. Luckily I have 4 bottles left - a cellar life extending to 2030+. — 2 months ago
Spottswoode
Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
1/2 hour decant (some fine sediment). A remarkable still dark purplish garnet with some bricking. On the nose: dark fruit, wet forest floor, anise, little tobacco, and some spearmint. Taste: creamy, lush wine with little bit of dried cherry, currants, planting soil, crushed stone, and a minty espresso medium plus finish. YUM! Still holding on at 27 years young. — 8 months ago

La réputation sur la longévité des Sémillons de la Hunter Valley n’est plus à faire. Les vins commencent à exprimer leurs potentiels au bout de 10 ans et ont une espérance de vie de plus de 30 ans. L’autre volet de la réputation qui n’est plus à faire est l’utilisation de la capsule à vis. Tyrrel’s a fait l’expérience et ses vins seraient tout aussi bons après 30 ans sous vis que sous liège avec en plus aucun problème de TCA. En plus, les vins n’ont pas beaucoup d'alcool, 11,0% en 2015.Parlant du vin le millésime 2015 est d’un beau jaune claire, terriblement jeune. Le nez offre des notes de melon, d'acacia et de miel. Une sensation de rondeur est perceptible. En bouche l’acidité est marquée, les saveurs sont plutôt bizarres avec des fruits passés date et du citron. Un des 1001 vins qu’il faut avoir bu, fait intéressant ce vin s'appelait Vat 1 Hunter River Riesling à sa création en 1962. — 11 days ago
